Hi friends! How's the day going?? Hope you're enjoying your morning and looking forward to the weekend. I feel like we're in a giant waiting game right now, so I'm busy cleaning up around the house and making random food and snacks to freeze or have in the fridge for the next couple of weeks. I've made some amazeballs, smoothie packs, baked oatmeal, and this soup… but instead of saving it, we ate it for dinner since it smelled so fantastic.

Besides, there's nothing like a hot bowl of soup.

I keep forgetting it's fall. The autumn decorations are out, but here we are eating popsicles and hiding in the AC. I can roll with that.

While tastes tend to change over the seasons (hiiiii allthepumpkin), there's something that almost always sounds appealing to me: soup.

It's basically all of the components for a satisfying meal in one bowl: protein, veggies, and heartwarming broth. I think I'm even more of a soup fan now because Liv loves it so much. It's one thing on the small list of options that I know she'll ALWAYS eat, so when I hit a dinner inspiration block, soup is the answer.

This is my little version of white chicken chili using shredded chicken, green chiles, broth, and spices.

My mom left this bag of Mexican oregano in the pantry. She travels around with the dried herb in little baggies. Not suspect at all hahah.

It freezes beautifully, which makes it a great meal prep option. Or you could just throw everything in the slow cooker like I did, and BOOM. The house smells amazing and dinner is served.

I topped mine with cilantro, and the Pilot enjoyed his with a hefty scoop of sour cream. He's not even a big soup guy, and he loved it.
